Motion Connective Hermaphrodite Deity Thu, Athena, Aether

(July 4, 2022) Motion powers did not birth new life so they tended to be seen as asexual. The only exception was their source powers which needed to be differentiated between the upper and lower sky-shells due to the two sources of translational motion: the motions of the heavenly bodies and human inner emotions.

Thu from Near Glastonbury England

This ash wood hermaphrodite "god-dolly" was found dropped into a marsh on its head from a trackway crossing the marsh just east of Glastonbury, England. This is the deity Thu. It was found by archaeologists Maurice Bell and John M. Coles.

It now resides at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge, England with accession number: 1968.6

Ein Gedi: Lack of Yahu Due to Interference From Thu of The Astrological Powers (605 BCE Drought)

(April 21, 2023) This is not a sealing but the actual limestone artifact found during the archaeological excavation off En Gedi, Israel. Based on its writing direction and larger size it was not used as a seal but instead was used as some sort of decorative element. The deity Thu is the hermaphrodite connective deity of the motion powers while the full moon god Su is the source power.

Etruscan Tomb of Shields Using Affection to Illustrate Power Coherency Between Thu and Life-Powers  

(Sept. 17, 2022) A corner in the Tomb of Shields at Tarquinia has two images of the hermaphrodite deity Thu being affectionate with a life-power god. Promoting this coherency between motion and life powers is the main theme of the text. Because Etruscan texts are read right to left the image on the right wall of the corner was meant to be read first. It reads in Akkadian (justification below):

Right Scene

  1. The Opener (goddess Ayu) is elevating Thu and the Life-Powers. Life-powers are coherent with affection from the veil (astrological source of motion power).
  2. The Opener is elevating that coherency. Divine anger is being revealed by Ayu.

Left Scene

  1. [ ] This does not bring the divine. This does not bring children : In a similar way these things have been eliminated : The lack is not from expulsion by the emotion-powers. The lack is not from the veiling of similar astrological-powers. The lack of activity (life growth) is from eliminating the nourishments (fertility-fluids). The lack does not bring associations .....
  2. The prodding-sticks (motion-sources) have not brought activity (life-growth). Alu is lacking that. The Divine is being veiled by the lack. In a similar way these things have been eliminated. Life-Powers are nourished by astrological-powers. Emotions have been made miserable by Yahu's (I'u) eliminations. Those are nourished by activity (life growth). Emotions are not the same as motion-powers....
  3. Considerations (focused emotions) do not bring nourishments (fertility-fluids). Anger energizes the Reed-Boat (Ayu). The Controllers nourish activity. Their fertility-fluids nourish the Divine. The combing is not lacking. The combing is from the Reed-Boat : [ ] : The eliminations are lacking wind. That is not dehydrating the nourishments. …. Wind-powers … Is veiling the life-powers
  4. [ ] does not bring nourishments. Coherency is not associating Yahu (E') and the life-powers : None of the fathers (life-priests) [ ]. Coherency can eliminate immobility. Those lack Ayu. [word] nourishes motion-powers. Astrological-Powers ...
  5. Don't nourish Thu. Immobility is from the lack of coherency. It is not from activity (life growth). Life-powers are energized by magic. Hu is being blocked by ...  Yahu (YA). Endurance brings consistency. Life-powers are frustrated by the nest (network).
  6. This is energizing the fertility-fluids for Yahu (IH, YH). Yahu (E') does not bring nourishments. Yahu is devoted to the moon-eye. Magic is drying the same. (network). Openings [ ]. The Reed-Boat (Ayu) does not bring the threads. Magic constrains activity. Impatience does not bring activity. The baking ....
  7. Thu is not nourished by the high-powers ....

Bottom Label

  1. Lacking this divine-power 
  2. the Opener (Ayu) is elevating their coherency.

Etruscan Orcus Tomb Image 1: The Connective Layer "Controllers," and Hermaphrodite Motion Deity Thu Are Not Affecting the Openings

(Sept. 8, 2022) The texts and images in the tomb of so-called Orcus 1 tell a story when viewed clockwise from the tombs entrance. The story's first scene is shown on the right.  

Translation in Akkadian (Text Med 18.1)

(read right to left. Capital letters on stone. Inner vowels inferred)
  1. ARu Ne'u : Pu E Lâšu A : (Med 18.1.1)
  2. Gi ELu .... (Med 18.1.2)

In English

  1. The Controllers (Ayu, Eagle Vultures) are being affected : None of the Openings are being influenced by them :
  2. High energy .... 

The rightmost image in the scene is the life power goddess Ayu (Inanna, Ishtar, Hathor) who is identified by her snake skin hat having a network pattern revealed by its scales. She is responsible for editing the network by removing and adding network links. She seems to be holding a young plant stem spurting fluid which likely corresponds to a network link. Another sign of her life power is that she is tanned from the sun because she is the feminine power compliment to the sun god Hu. 

(Continue Reading)

The leftmost image is the middle layer motion-power hermaphrodite deity Thu who is wearing the laurel crown to indicate their divine role as a motion deity. The fast-growing laurel tree (Laurus nobilis) is also called the Bay Laurel because its bay leaves are a spice having a unique odor and taste. Either because of its fast growth or because of its aroma this tree has been associated with speed and motion. It was placed on the heads of Greek runners to indicate they were the fastest. They were a champion and from that the laurel crown came to indicate any sort of victor. The hair of Thu has both masculine and feminine components relative to Italian culture with long side hair (feminine) and short back hair (masculine). That this image represents the hermaphrodite deity Thu is provided by a painting in a different tomb called the Tomb of Shields who is “associating” with unknown deity or demon.

(Med Text 34.2) A rare and early Athenian owl coin type actually has the letter teth (Greek theta) between the A and E instead of an ayin indicating people knew the difference between the letters. So this actually spells Athe meaning "Those Thu powers" after the patron motion power god of Athens, Thu. This type of owl coins was probably only used locally while the more spiritual coin was used internationally. Tetradrachm (22mm, 17.16 grams).

Archaic Era Athenian Owl Silver Tetradrachms (512-490 BCE

(July 11, 2023) Greek culture resulted from a mixing of Neolithic farmer Druid culture and the culture of the Indo-European invaders. The Greek culture's attempted reconciliation of those two sources combined with trade wealth gave Greek culture its dynamism. Notice the olive branch behind the owl which was the source of Athens' prosperity prior to its silver mine. At this time the owl would have represented the chaotic aspect in the motion powers while the deity Thu represented the orderly aspect. Motion powers were manifested as the winds so they were honored by sailors and commercial traders.

Athena as:  AṬNA  means "Motion-Powers" (plural). The central letter of the top coin (as most later coins) is not a teth (theta) but is instead the Akkadian letter ayin which is a glottal stop sound not used in Indo-European. 

Translation in Akkadian of Ayin Containing Text (Med Text 34.1)

(Read right to left or left to right. Capital letters on coin. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verb is italic bold)
  1. A'E (Med 34.1)

In English. 

  1.  Motion-Power

(Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration)

Translation in Akkadian Of A Rare Theta Containing Text (Med Text 34.2)

(Read left to right. Capital letters on coin. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verb is italic bold)
  1. A  ṬE (Med 34.2)

In English. 

  1.  This is a Thu-Power

(Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration)

Replacing the letter ayin with theta as shown in the next lower coin changes the translation to the phrase "Those Thu Powers."  The hermaphrodite deity Thu was the connective motion power of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. Yet this change of translation does not change the underlying meaning. Both translations emphasize honoring the motion powers. 

The letter he (E/H) found on the end of both texts is an Akkadian grammatical ending on deity or spirit indicating it represents a power and not a persona.

A good introducltion to the Athenian owl coins. Just look past their lack of linguistic expertise and resultant lack of knowledge of the ancient world.

Calf Bearer Inscription from the archaic era Athenian acropolis
Proof that the letter represented by the circle and dot on Athenian coins is not a theta is provided by the contemporary Calf Bearer Inscription from the archaic era Athenian acropolis. Both the letters ayin and teth (theta) are shown. The letter ayin has the central dot while teth (theta) has a cross. 
The text reads in Alphabetic Akkadian “[Hu’s] fertility-fluids are nesting which is eliminating the openings, Fertility-fluids are going dark which is starving the Supervisor (Ayu or Athena). Astrological owls …..” (Olmsted January 14, 2021)
Hellenistic Hermaphroditus (Thu) 250 BCE

Hellenistic Hermaphroditus (Thu) 250 BCE

Originally from Pergamum on the coast of western Asia Minor and dating to between 200 and 300 BCE. Now at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum inventory number 363 T. In Greek mythology Hermaphroditus was considered to be an offspring of the boundary crosser god Hermes. That it was an offspring indicates that Hermes was the original Greek god of boundary crossing having these powers (among others) just like Asklepios was an offspring of Apollo (Akkadian Hu) who was the original god of healing (among other things)

Text in Akkadian (right to left)

  1. Ṭu zu daḫû amu

In English

  1. Thu's eliminations pressures the Reed-Boat (Ayu, Hathor)

Thu is the hermaphrodite connective motion power deity. The elimination of motion power aid tends to inhibit the flow of fertility fluids through the life network thus emotionally pressuring Hathor who is the connective life goddess who edits the network connections. The "Reed-Boat" is an epithet for the crescent moon and represents these connective life goddesses.

Egyptian Hieroglyphs

A Hathor ideogram is located on the statuette’s shoulder. It consists of the falcon of Horus inside a house. The feminine power is represented by a house for a masculine power.

Below the Hathor ideogram is the Egyptian hieroglyphic phrase which reads:

  • many honors to her

(Continue Reading)

The Egyptian signs with their letters are:

  1. reed - yod (I)
  2. reed - yod (Y)
  3. plow - mem (M)
  4. 3 dots (meaning "many"),
  5.  rising and setting sun - teth (Ṭ)
  6. sling - a different teth (Ṭ)

The root Egyptian word here is IM meaning "to honor" (Faulkner 1962). The letter combination teth, teth is a feminine pronoun suffix meaning "her."

The god Horus was the Egyptian connective life-growth power of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. As such he was represented by the falcon which moved the visible sun as it flew on wings though the region between the earth plane and the watery inner surface of the sky-shell. Spiritual powers ascended into the divine realm by hopping a ride on the sun when on the morning horizon. Horus as the visible sun motion represented good order in contrast to the hidden sun form represented by the chaotic storm bull, Seth.

Bottom view of a bronze candelabra base called the Lamp of Cortona
Found with the plaque having the text was this bronze candelabra  called the Lamp of Cortona. This is the view of its bottom. Both seem to be from an Etruscan temple devoted to the life powers. This temple apparently was under threat from the Latins (probably the city of Tibur) who were also expanding up the valley at the time. This threat is why these valuable objects were hidden away in a field.
The outer ring of this image is certainly celebrating the power of life which correlates well with the text. Yet its center shows a panting sick sun at the center indicating it is a drought causing sun. This type of sun seems to have evolved into the Greek Gorgon.
This candelabra base and plaque was found by peasants at località La Fratta, 2,8 km west of Cortona, Italy on September 14, 1840 (Modona 1977). It is now displayed at the Museo dell’Accademia Etrusca e della Città di Cortona. Image from van de Meer (2011).

Line by Line Explanation

  1. Threads are the channels of the life network through which fertility fluids flow to trigger Yahu to manifest life forms. But, fertility fluids affected by negative human emotions which are not being covered  up but are instead being made manifest by the motion source god and full moon god Su. The sun god Hu represents the life network but it is not being properly formed.
  2. Thu is the hermaphrodite motion power deity for the connective layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. He is the one who normally filters out negative human emotions but he is being intimidated by the source power of this motion powers which is Su.
  3. Eagle vultures are the familiars which edit the life network by cutting off unwanted links.
  4. Lack of drought depends on a working life network represented by the sun god Hu and the pushing of the fertility fluids through it by spiritual motion (wind) powers represented by the owl familiar.
  5.  Humans emotions are causing the misery 
  6.  The astrological motion powers are in control of human emotions right now.
  7. This line makes a connection between the life powers and motion powers by using the analogy of sex.

Translation of Carthage Stone Text Blames Drought on Negative and Unblocked Emotions (170 BCE)

(September 5, 2022) This text is blaming  a drought on negative and unblocked human emotions. Normally the connective hermaphrodite motion power deity, Thu, blocked most of these negative emotions before they could affect the flow of fertility fluids through the life network represented by sun god Hu. In this case Thu is being restrained by the astrological motion source powers represented by the full moon god Su.

In English

  1. The lack of threading is the howling of the astrological-powers. Yahu (IA) is being the same as the threading. Nothing is being covered-up. Su manifests the emotions. Fertility-fluids are being pastured by the eagle-vultures. Nothing is being set by them. Anarchic magic is nourishing Hu.
  2. Magic is lacking Thu. The murderer is lacking Thu and veiling the Revealer (Yahu). The nest (network) determines the fate of Yahu (I'). Veiled is the Revealer. The nest's enemy is supported by this magic. Intimidation by Su is nourishing anarchy.
  3. Life-manifesting is being made difficult for the nourishments (fertility-fluids). The Revealer (Yahu) is being intimidated by the motion-powers. Hu is being nourished by the eagle-vultures. The Revealer is scarce. Those revelations are not being pushed by Hu's fertility-fluids. The redirection of threads is being inhibited. Nourishments are clamoring for the difficult life-channels. 
  4. Nourishments are clamoring for the ignored life-channels. Nourishments nest the Revealer. Shouldn’t Hu be revealing those nourishments? The Nourishment-Revealer (Yahu) is clamoring for the difficult life-channels. A lack of scarcity depends on the wind, and emotion-owls will be revealing that.
  5. The activity of Hu is being difficult for the Revealer (Yahu). The activity of the threads is being supervised and activated by the Reed-Boat (Ayu). Her magic is nested. The creation of invisible-forms is ending in life-manifestations, (but) emotions are making ineffective the life-threads. Misery is from those magical-powers.
  6. This magic is revealed by emotions. Activity and Hu are being attacked by the storm-powers. This makes anarchic the waters. The swarm (stars) is taking possession of the emotional-releasing and the astrological powers are making-scarce the openings. Those emotions open Hu.
  7. Misery is being revealed by magic. The Supervisor (Ayu) arouses Hu. Fertility-fluids are crafted by magic for that. Moon-eyes are associating with the threads. None of this is opening-up the fertility-fluids. None of this is fighting Ayu’s lack of energy. Do not the astrological-powers emotionally-empower illicit-sex..

Greek Deity Aether

(July 3, 2022) Ancient Greek author Hesiod claim in says this in his story of creation (lines 120 to 140):

In truth at first Chaos came to be, but next wide-bosomed Earth, the ever-sure foundation of all the deathless ones who hold the peaks of snowy Olympus, and dim Tartarus in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth, [120] and Eros (Love), fairest among the deathless gods, who unnerves the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them. 
From Chaos came forth Erebus (dark underdome space) and black Night; but of Night were born Aether (skydome space and atmosphere) and Day,  whom she conceived and bore from union in love with Erebus . 
And Earth first bore starry Heaven, equal to herself, to cover her on every side, and to be an ever-sure abiding-place for the blessed gods. And she brought forth long hills, graceful haunts  of the goddess Nymphs who dwell amongst the glens of the hills. 
She bore also the fruitless deep with his raging swell, Pontus, without sweet union of love. But afterwards she lay with Heaven and bore deep-swirling Oceanus, Coeus and Crius and Hyperion and Iapetus,  Theia and Rhea, Themis and Mnemosyne and gold-crowned Phoebe and lovely Tethys. After them was born Cronos the wily, youngest and most terrible of her children, and he hated his lusty sire.
